DALLAS — As North Texans enjoy or lament the unusually warm temperatures this weekend for mid-November, it’s worth looking ahead to see when conditions might change.
Saturday’s high temperature of 89 degrees, reported at 3:26 p.m. at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, broke the standing climate record of 87 degrees set in 1955, according to a National Weather Service climate report.
Sunday’s high could reach 84 degrees and Monday could see 87 degrees before temperatures drop slightly mid-week.
Precipitation is expected to return to the region on Wednesday, with rain chances currently at 60% for DFW International Airport.
The National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office said the most likely pattern will bring widespread showers and storms but a low risk of flooding.
There is a low chance, the weather service said, of a slower-moving pattern, which would increase precipitation totals and the flooding risks for Dallas-Fort Worth.
The rain is expected to linger in the region until Friday. It should help drop high temperatures out of the 80s, but the forecast for later next week still has highs and lows that are significantly above average for mid-November. It’s not immediately clear when the colder temperatures that started the week might return.
